For the TCB, the year 2023 saw the successful testing of a concept: an entire day dedicated to MICE. And for a number of DMCs and hotels, it was the year of consecration, with a Tunisia MICE Award. Here are the awards and a video review of the evening.
The highlight of 2023 for the MICE sector was the launch by the Tunisia Convention Bureau of a one-day event: Tunisia MICE Day.
The Tunisia MICE Market, the first specialized MICE trade show in Tunisia, and the gala evening of the Tunisia MICE Awards, the first awards dedicated to this sector, were the two components of this memorable 100% MICE day, held on November 2 at the Complexe Azur Hammamet.
